Guru's Golden Picks: Arena Week 3

[AFLGuru]

Will someone tell Clint Stoerner to stop fumbling.... Twice he fumbled and twice Columbus scored on the first damn play... so in 4 minutes we have 2 TDs... bad news...

 

[AFLGuru]

Columbus needs to stop it.... 24-6 in the first quarter... meanwhile, it's 21-14 in New Orleans, VooDoo up a stop, 11:05 left in the 2nd.

Ace..YES there can be 2 gamblers in 1 household and everyone is happy. I get the rush through him..I do not gamble myself but he taught me much about horses and sports betting. Sometimes I have to encourage him to make a bet when he has no interest in a game like the Pro Bowl Game today..but I love the action and he is betting the NFC+4 because he knows I will be enjoying the game so much more...he will get good food and whatever during the game but it drives him a little nuts to not have strong rationale for his plays..he is an Electronic Engineer and very analytical..I have been checking out the AFL info and will try to get him interested..he feels too many variables for him. We have great times at the track and I make my little bets but am fully aware of his strong plays..I love the RUSH..win or lose

Looking better boys and girls... 63 points in the SJ/NO game with 24 ticks left in the half... only 45 at the 1 minute warning in Dallas... which looks pretty good considering there were 30 in the 1st thanks to a kick return and two Columbus drives that started inside the Dallas 10.

 

[AFLGuru]

Scoreless in the last 4 minutes of the 2nd quarter for Dallas and Columbus. Looking good with 45 in the 1st half. 70 in New Orleans in the first half.

 

[AFLGuru]

Boy Nashville, learn how to play special teams.... 3 seconds left in the half and they're kicking off... and they screwed up and gave up a squib return for a TD...

 

[AFLGuru]

I don't know if Pinny screwed this up or what....

Adding: Philly (+6.5) vs. Nashville 2nd half (3 units -108)

 

[geeze]

Olympic has it Philly-6

 

[AFLGuru]

Correction, it's -105, not -108.

Anyway, Philly is a 13 point favorite and +6.5 in the 2nd half... makes no sense to me. I'll take -105 on that for 3 units. I'm pretty confident Philly is going to win this game by more than a TD. Nashville's offense has looked pretty bad and Philly's has looked pretty good save one Graziani pass. Nashville gets the ball first, but I don't think it's making a difference.

[AFLGuru]

Okay, for record keeping purposes, I'll throw this bet out then, since it wasn't attainable to people not on Pinnacle. Hope you didn't take it Philly -6, though I think they're gonna cover that too.

 

[geeze]

I passed it.


VERY happy with San Jose over, so far.

 

[AFLGuru]

Yeah Geeze, both games are looking pretty solid right now, though New Orleans is taking their dear sweet time with this first drive of the 3rd... Always ominous... However, if they can't get to THIRTY in the 2nd half, they've got issues... 5 scores should be cupcake.

 

[TheHawk]

Guru,

Last week Pinnacle quickly posted COL +8.5 at the half. I took them quickly.

A minute later it was corrected to COL -8.5

I got an email later that night saying my bet had been voided.

 

[AFLGuru]

My gut says that's what going to happen... however, that being said they NEVER posted a second line on the game, meaning they might let it ride. I'm not going to be happy if they void it.

 

[AFLGuru]

10 freakin' plays so far for New Orleans on the opening drive of the half...

 

[AFLGuru]

Fortunately New Orleans scored, but it took 11 minutes off the clock... Scary stuff but I still think we're okay.

 

[AFLGuru]

Wow, this Nashville game ended up sucking... Nashville's gonna win this game outright I believe. Unreal. However, should be 2-0 in the others, and since I said I'm not counting the other in the records.... Heh... Anyway...

Recap later.

--AFLGuru:toast:

 

[AFLGuru]

Unreal... Graziani threw for a TD with 3 seconds left to cover my 2nd half... unreal. Absolutely unreal. Michael Trigg should be shot for THROWING the ball up 4 with 3 seconds left...


So 3-0 today somehow, but again, I won't count the last one because most of you couldn't get it.

Recap in a bit.

Quoting Guru:

"Orlando,
and San Jose over.

These are the big boys, this time around.(page 1)"

THANK YOU, Guru! I went heavy on both.

geeze.

 

[AFLGuru]

Nice job geeze... you'll get the benefits of the San Jose game in about 10 minutes... 62-61 New Orleans with 20 seconds left... (I think that's over 99)
